Professor Bejan is an outstanding specialist in mechanics and the discoverer of the constructive law in thermodynamics.
\\ \\
Prof. Bejan, a member of the Physics and Engineering Sciences section of Academia Europaea, will talk about the manifestations of this right in nature and its application in human systems design during his lecture entitled "Nature, evolution and purpose", which he will deliver at Wrocław University of Science and Technology on June 24.
\\ \\
The meeting will take place in the auditorium of WUST (building  (A-1, wyb. Wyspiańskiego 27), at 3 pm.

Prof. Adrian Bejan was awarded the Benjamin Franklin Medal for „Thermodynamics and constructal theory, which predicts natural design and its evolution in engineering, scientific, and social systems”. Professor has made contributions to modern thermodynamics and developed what he calls the constructal law. He received all his degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (B.S.1971, M.S.1972, Ph.D.1975).
